Mikrofoni Behringer CB100

The Behringer CB100 is an instrument microphone engineered to capture detailed, natural sound from acoustic and electric guitars as well as other stringed and acoustic instruments. Its compact capsule and robust housing are designed for stage and studio use, providing a wide frequency response and low self-noise to preserve the instrument’s tonal character. The package includes a dedicated guitar mount that enables secure attachment to soundholes, bodies or rims without altering playability.

Advantages

The CB100 delivers accurate audio reproduction with low inherent noise, allowing for clear recording and live reinforcement. Its durable construction withstands regular handling and the included guitar mount simplifies positioning and reduces handling noise. The microphone’s wide frequency response captures both low fundamentals and high harmonics, which helps retain the natural dynamics and articulation of the instrument.

Suitable for

• Acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars
• Classical and flamenco guitars
• Ukuleles and mandolins
• Instrument miking for live performance and studio recording

Key specifications

• Transducer type: dynamic instrument microphone
• Frequency response: wide-range for full instrument capture
• Self-noise: low, suitable for clean signal capture
• Housing: rugged construction for stage and studio use
• Mounting: included guitar mount for secure attachment to instrument body

How to use

Attach the supplied guitar mount to the instrument body or soundhole according to the instrument’s shape, positioning the microphone capsule toward the area where the desired tonal balance is obtained (near the bridge for articulation or slightly towards the soundhole for warmth). Connect the microphone to a compatible microphone preamp or mixer using an appropriate cable and set input gain to avoid clipping while preserving dynamics. Monitor the signal through headphones or PA to fine-tune placement for the preferred sound.

Recommendations

For reliable results, start with a neutral position about 5–15 cm from the sound source and adjust placement incrementally to find the best balance between warmth and clarity. Use a microphone preamp with low noise and sufficient headroom, and consider mild EQ adjustments to reduce unwanted low rumble or to enhance presence if needed.
